The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office is urging the public to assist in identifying a man linked to a string of package thefts in the Indian Land area. The sheriff’s office issued a notice on Monday, accompanied by a “Porch Pirate Alert” posted on their Facebook page.
Surveillance videos from residents show a man brazenly walking onto porches, grabbing packages, and quickly fleeing the scene in a vehicle. The series of thefts has sparked growing concern in the community, with additional residents coming forward online to report missing packages since the notice was released.
In their post, the sheriff’s office stated:
“We are seeking the public’s assistance with identifying this individual who is wanted for questioning regarding package thefts in the Indian Land area.”
Residents with any information are encouraged to contact the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office at 803-283-3388 (Option #4). Additionally, tips can be submitted anonymously using the P3Tips platform, available online at www.p3tips.com/983 or via the P3Tips mobile app for Apple and Android devices.
The sheriff’s office emphasized the importance of community involvement in solving these cases, urging anyone with relevant information to come forward.
Authorities also remind residents to stay vigilant and consider taking preventive measures to protect their deliveries, such as requiring a signature for packages, using secure delivery lockers, or installing security cameras.
